"Gah!!"
This move did not kill the insect; the iron spike remained embedded halfway in its chest, and its two sickle-shaped arms tried to pull it out.
Seeing their powerless appearance, having been confined in this place for so many years, they had long lost their original strength. Su Yuan also had a general idea of the strength of these insects.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just as everyone was about to continue executing it, a violent noise came again from the entrance at the rear, which Su Yuan had sealed with a boulder, and the hatches on both sides of them were also being violently pounded.
The strange chirping of the insect continued to spread. Su Yuan's expression changed, and he immediately pulled out the pistol he had picked up earlier, aiming it at the figure preparing to step forward.
White energy poured out, piercing a hole in the insect's head. Its cries stopped abruptly, and it swayed and fell to the ground.
"Holy crap! That's strong?"
The power of the pistol surprised him; it killed the insect with a single shot. He couldn't understand how those aliens had been wiped out by them.
The slapping sounds all around him left him no time to think. When he arrived at the insect's side, he felt a bit disgusted, but he still used an empty storage necklace to put its corpse inside.
Perhaps we'll be able to unlock special items in the future.
"We need to hurry up, or we'll be in trouble if those guys break in."
"Why don't we hold off those monsters here while you go search for the divine artifact?" Shouyan paused, stopped in his tracks, and asked Su Yuan.
"No, there are too many of them. No matter how strong you are, you can easily be overwhelmed. If that happens, it won't be so easy to leave. Ignore them and keep moving forward."
Su Yuan wasn't sure if every one of the mutated corpses had lost their viral transmissibility, so rather than leaving someone behind, he decided it was better for everyone to go in together, so that if they got into a desperate situation, they could leave together.
He's not without options to leave.
"I... um, I understand."
Shouyan bit her lip, but finally nodded and followed the group. She thought that once she arrived here, it would be her time to shine, but she hadn't been able to do anything since she went into the sea.
The dense horde of corpses, the eerie insects, and the environment at the bottom of the deep sea made her feel powerless, even though she was stronger than everyone else present.
She had never felt so powerless when she dealt with the Frost Sea Heart Crystal Puppet. Everything here was completely different from the stories her mother had told her when she was a child. There were no tense and fierce battles, and no tall and ferocious magical beasts guarding the artifact.
If she had truly led Shouying and the others here herself, she could only imagine one outcome: death.
No, they didn't even have a way to swim here. Even if they got the information from Mu Yue, they were helpless against the divine artifact that went deep into the sea.
"Ouch... what are you doing!"
As she walked, her head bumped into Xin Ke's back, and the horn on her head made Xin Ke scream.
"Oh? Sorry..."
Only then did she realize that everyone had stopped, and a large door in front of them was frozen solid. Su Yuan, who was at the front, was trying to open it with the three black access cards in his hand.
"It's nothing, why are you so distracted?"
Xin Ke rubbed her shoulders and looked at Shouyan, who seemed lost in thought, with curiosity. Both of them were skilled with spears, and the naive Xin Ke categorized Shouyan as someone like herself.
Indeed, Shouyan usually appears carefree and enthusiastic, but compared to the impulsive Xin, he possesses a greater sense of composure befitting a lord.
"I... well, I feel like I haven't been of much help." Shouyan didn't hide his feelings and told Xinke what he was thinking.
"Oh, so that's what it was about."
